For matching status with Wyndham, do we match the Hilton or Marriott? With Ceasar is it only after you get Wyndham then you can get the Caesar Diamond status?

Thanks

Has anyone come across having Hilton creating two accounts for you? I got an email last week from Hilton and another one this week with a different account number.

I think you get diamond automatically...I think you then need to match Ceasar using Wydham diamond.

The $200 credit should be seen right away in the Amex travel site

Hi All, got the card and I am starting to leverage slowly... new to Amex world.
In spirit to get best benefits, Could anyone be so kind to explain me the benefits being discussed here with upgrades and hotels (Hebrew to me).. I am aware of the "Fine hotel Collection perks", hotels I frankly find very expensive, some of them at least...

I also got them to set me up for membership at Golden Circle and such. I know you folks are discussing some benefits here.
PARTIULARLY, for VEGAS or FLORIDA, as I will be taking my family there.

pls and thanks!

You'd want to status match your Marriott or Hilton gold status to wyndam diamond. I believe this is a 90 day diamond status challenge. But within those 90 days you can match it with casears diamond which will last 1 year I believe.

If you have the supplementary card I would do the exact same thing so you get double the casears diamond status and get can double the benefits. Should be able to get double the dining credits.

In terms of using your other hotel status, those benefits only apply when you book directly with the hotel. Or using amex fine Hotel collection. Also when you book thru amex, you can apply the $200 credit to your booking, which posted in my account within 24-48 hrs.

Sign up for the two priority passes (main + supplementary). You'll be able to bring in the two card holders + 2 additional guests or kids for lounges at the airport. ( I assuming you'll be flying your family to Vegas or Florida) you'll also be able to get into the centurion lounge at LAS.

Yeah, I applied for the Hilton status upgrade over a week ago and still nothing. But Marriott got the status in about a day. I didn't even get an email notification, just noticed it after I logged in.

me neither. no email for marriott. hilton at 2weeks now. nothing. amex is supposed to check with their backoffice and get back to me by tmr but if nothing then i am gonna try signing up with my supp card with my existing honors number (forgot to put down the honors number the first time so they were just supposed to create a new one so i could combine it later)
